Scallop Shellby SteveNakatani on Flickr

Here is another tasty animal you or your parents may have eaten before too.  It is called a scallop.  See the beautiful ridges on it and the little "wings" at the base of the shell?  This is a good way to identify a scallop from other shells.

Coral Reef (چیز دریایی دو)by Hamed Saber on Flickr

Largest coral reef in the world is called The Great Barrier reef.  It is found in Australia and is over half the size of Texas! 
Corals may look like big colorful rock but are actually thousands of tiny animals with a mouth and a ring of tentacles. The hard substance is their skeleton. After they die, their skeleton stays there and another polyp grows on top of the old producing a beautiful coral!
